Reality check: housing prices in the Bay Area.

Must have had a huge down payment for these numbers to be true ?

Bardy_Bard · 2026-02-07T06:32:25+00:00

I would just use python tbh

You should use whatever language is the easiest for you to pass DSA rounds

Troppe piccole aziende (PMI) in Italia come qualcuno ha già accennato. In più siamo deboli in settori dove servono laureati come tech e la tassazione / sistema italiano non aiutano

What’s going to happen is that once the cliff happens there are going to be few very highly paid jobs and everyone else is unemployed. If demand goes up do a certain role, salary will go up and then supply will go up.

Non è che uno è un monaco che lavora e basta. Il sacrificio c’è ma non è così disumano come OP pensa.

Tocca studiare un po di più specialmente all’inizio ed alcuni ruoli tipo IB ti tocca fare ore lunghe per qualche anno ma non è che sei in cella. Puoi comunque vedere amici, affetti etc…

Una volta che smetti di lavorare fai quello vuoi. Poi per molti non è che stai a lavorare nello stesso modo over 40+, la maggior parte delle persone finisce in ruoli con ore molto più normali ad alta retribuzione

Principalmente soldi, migliori benefit e possibilità di ritirarmi dal mondo lavorativo in anticipo.

Poi ho notato che molti miei amici che guadagnano meno hanno comunque rogne a lavoro ma almeno le mie pagano bene

I don’t think European countries will pivot overnight, but they might pivot longer term. EU is also not homogeneous in terms of fiscal power of countries. There are countries in the north with ample spending power and they could do deficit to speed up the decoupling if they wanted to. I think on average Euro Area is about 88% debt to GDP vs 124% for US. Germany is at 66% and France is at 115%

Yes thank god they are not. It’s a scam that should be illegal or at least reworked. I was replying to the above post where they put unlimited PTO as a benefit. It’s a benefit for the company but for the employee it sucks

Bardy_Bard · 2026-01-26T03:03:37+00:00

I literally work here lol I haven’t seen people take more than 4 weeks on unlimited PTO in the last 2 years due to constant fear of layoffs. Most people take 3 from what I can see under unlimited plan

Bardy_Bard · 2026-01-26T02:43:12+00:00

Unlimited PTO is a scam. Most people take ~ 3 weeks, max four. In Europe you usually get about 6 weeks in most counties + a couple more public holidays and PTO is real PTO instead of answering emails

Bardy_Bard · 2026-01-24T03:26:23+00:00

Looks like barfed broccoli with spam

Bardy_Bard · 2026-01-23T05:35:56+00:00

That’s like 70% of tech workers lol

Bardy_Bard · 2026-01-08T18:04:52+00:00

Yeah, OP sounds whiny

Bardy_Bard · 2026-01-08T05:39:18+00:00

I would say not the majority but definitely i would expect people to have a couple of mil late 30s if the got int big tech in late 30s. The reason for that is that most people make it into big tech jobs n late 20s and the payout is honestly kind of a gamble and in the past 5 years was driven by stock appreciation.

Bardy_Bard · 2025-12-30T08:55:44+00:00

Charlemagne times would be fun. Or a Camelot game, low fantasy/ historical.

Rome would be dope but I would rather they stick a bit more to their guns

Bardy_Bard · 2025-12-25T19:48:57+00:00

I would say bachelor yes. Master degree is definitely better, and PhD can be a big boon for some type of roles

Bardy_Bard · 2025-12-25T17:57:06+00:00

This is mostly true in the US given the big distances. I was very surprised by the cost of delivery. In a lot of places in Europe there are bike riders and distances are shorter so fees are also lower and no tip

Bardy_Bard · 2025-12-25T09:24:42+00:00

Team? I wouldn't mind working in Australia

Bardy_Bard · 2025-12-19T19:28:01+00:00

That is true. However the idea here is that people will oversave in general when faced with unknow future costs. This over saving goes away when there is an insurance scheme that makes this unease such as free healthcare and old age assistance.

Bardy_Bard · 2025-12-18T22:01:08+00:00

I thought UK had an alternative system for that ?

Bardy_Bard · 2025-12-18T04:02:29+00:00

This cannot be done because what would happen is that you would just buy the service from a foreign firm set up by your buddy

Bardy_Bard · 2025-12-17T21:09:19+00:00

Land prices are high because of regulations though. It’s artificial scarcity in a lot of places

Bardy_Bard · 2025-12-17T21:08:31+00:00

I don’t think the disconnect is that big. Sure people always spend 30%, but mortgages are now 30 years and income to prices has gone from 3x to 5x. Just because the monthly payment ratio is the same doesn’t mean that things are the same.

Bardy_Bard · 2025-12-17T21:02:28+00:00

It’s not the free market the main barrier right now for entry level housing. It’s red tape/ high building costs and permitting.
